Yep, knife laws are stranger than gun laws, if you can believe that. There are lots more ill-defined and contradictory laws out there, because each little podunk town writes their own, to give cops more tools to hassle people. Usually the cop just takes your knife, and adds it to his collection. Actual prosecution requires them to read the statute, and try to make enough sense of it to stand up in court. That rarely happens.
Our Hobbit Hole knife count stands at 1095, which includes pocket knives, sheath knives, rescue knives, entry tools, and a couple of tomahawks. That doesn't include a few dozen "oddball" knives that I got on sale, but in numbers too small to put on the "tote board". I'm always looking out for great knives at great prices.
Those great prices are out there, at times. Sometimes just a good sale from some dealer. We also have great factory support from Gerber and Camillus.
We'll be offering a super-neat tactical switchblade (when presented with the proper paperwork) from Camillus, once it's available. I have the official pricing and photos, but I'm sworn to secrecy until it's formally announced. There are plenty of great assisted-openers out there that can do the same job for less money, and less hassle.
I've carried a pocket knife for the last 36 years (got my first one in Basic when I realized it was a vital accessory), under the theory that a knife is the one tool you cannot beg, borrow, or steal on a moment's notice. You can find a screwdriver, pliers, etc. somewhere, but if you don't have your own knife, you're SOL. So I carry my little Swiss Army knife with the 1GB USB drive, on my keyring. In my pocket is this knife, with the law-friendly 1-7/8-inch blade:
There's usually an active "donate to the troops" thread running over there.
Thank you for your efforts in support of a noble cause.
